Life

Amann grew up in Darmstadt , where he graduated from high school at the age of 17 . From 1971 to 1980 he studied civil engineering at the Technical University there and graduated with a degree in engineering . Amann then worked for Deutsche Bahn . Among other things, he worked there from 1994 as a project manager for the 300 km / h route from Frankfurt to Cologne. Through his work he made connections to Frankfurt am Main Airport . The glass dome at the airport train station was created under his direction. After completing the rail project, Amann moved to Fraport AG in 1997 , where he had to deal with the protest movement against the construction of the northwest runway.

In August 2012, Amann moved from Fraport to Berlin Brandenburg Airport, where he was to lead the billion-dollar project out of the crisis as a senior civil engineer. After Hartmut Mehdorn, the new airport manager, took office in March 2013, there were differences of opinion between them about the strategies, so that Amann was withdrawn from the project in November of that year and given another task. On November 1, 2013 he took over the management of Flughafen Energie und Wasser GmbH (FEW). This operates the electricity, water and air conditioning networks at the Tegel and Schönefeld airports in the capital and the new Berlin airport. According to press reports, he was released from all tasks in 2014, with continued payment of his salary of approx. € 300,000 / year.

In May 2017, the shareholders' meeting of RTW GmbH unanimously decided to appoint Amann as the new managing director.

Amann is married and has four children.
